Kades, thanks for sharing.

a question: your chocolate TNT balls contain no eggs, no bak pdr nor baking soda.....so they sound like a shortbread. Is this so?

and could I roll them in coconut before baking instead of icing sugar afterwards? I find icing-covered anything sticks to my clothing too well.

Soma,
I made Kadesma's snowballs tonight, I liked your idea of rolling them in coconut before baking, so I did it. They were wonderful! Great idea, the coconut gets all toasty. I will sure make them again, so thank you for the great idea and thanks to Kadesma for the recipe!
